 Chris Corrigan is an Australian Businessman famous for growing logistics company 'Patrick Corporation' into one of Australia's most successful companies, for owning part of Richard Branson's Virgin Blue airline & taking on the Maritime Union in the 1998 Waterfront dispute. Here are some of Chris' wise words:
- You can't overestimate the need to plan and prepare. In most of the mistakes I've made, there has been this common theme of inadequate planning beforehand. You really can't over-prepare in business!
- I'm a firm believer that to really understand a business takes years, not months. As an investment analyst you think you understand a business from the outside, but the reality is that, once you are inside, you can go on learning for five or ten years.
- I'd always had a childhood ambition to go into the investment capital business, and spent twenty-odd years in it. But the thought of spending the second half of my career in the same business was boring, so I looked around for other opportunities.
